A list of songs Carole King composed during the Brill
Building era. While the list is fairly comprehensive,
it is probably not perfect. The list is graphic and
spread out over four pages. To ensure the list is
legible, each file is rather large. The pages may

"The Dimension
label was formed by Don Kirshner in 1962 in New York
City. Kirshner owned a song publishing company with
Al Nevins called Nevins-Kirshner. Working for them
was the talented husband and wife songwriting team of
Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and Kirshner formed
Dimension as a recording outlet for Goffin and King
songs and productions..." >>>presented by Both Sides

Carole King and
Gerry Goffin wrote most of their hits together during
the Brill Building/Girl Group era, when the 45 RPM
disc was a more important recorded medium than the LP.
It was during this era that the Dimension label was
active, and many Dimension records were never
released on LP. This page is a complete Dimension 45
RPM discography listing titles, performers, and
catalog numbers. >>> Presented by Spectropop

The Cookies did
backup vocals for Neil Sedaka, Little Eva, and
Carole King, and their own records on Dimension
are among the most treasured works by Goffin and
King. The Cookies page at Spectropop reveals
their story and provides links to audio samples
of all their great Dimension recordings.

"Carole had a gift
for arrangement, knowing how to build a song to the
hook through subtle chord manipulation and
instrumental counterpoint. To help sell her songs,
she began low cost demos to demonstrate her ideas to
the producers . These demos were so good that often
the producer only had to copy them with the proper
instrumentation to have a hit record..."

"Little Eva
Narcissus Boyd was a babysitter for Carole King and
Gerry Goffin when the songwriting team was inspired
to write "Locomotion," a song based on a dance that
Eva would do around the house. Eva also got to sing
on their demo, which impressed Don Kirshner enough to
release it as it was..." >>>presented by

"Perhaps no
babysitter in history got a bigger break than Eva
Boyd, who baby sat for songwriters Carole King and
Gerry Goffin. King and Goffin asked her to record a
song they had written called "The Loco-Motion." With
the Cookies as back up singers, plus the powerful
voice of the newly named Little Eva , "The
Loco-Motion" went to #1 on both the pop and R&B
charts in 1962." >>>presented by

"In 1959, Sedaka scored a hit with "Oh! Carol,"
written in her honor; King cut an answer record, "Oh!
Neil," but it stiffed. She and Goffin, who eventually
married, began writing under publishers Don Kirshner
and Al Nevins in the famed pop songwriting house the
Brill Building, where they worked alongside the likes
of Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman, Jeff Barry, Ellie
Greenwich and countless others. " >>>presented by
